Prescriptions

The easiest way to order repeat prescriptions is by using the GP online system - Patient Services (Patients over 16 only)

These accounts show you all your repeat medicine and dosage and you can choose the ones you need.

You can also:

• Drop your prescription counterfoil in the Red Post Box inside the surgery main entrance with the required items clearly marked.
• Davidsons Pharmacy, Alyth - There is a locked box in the pharmacy that you can pop your counterfoil into and they will deliver it to us please allow  48 hours for processing Monday to Thursday and 72 hours on  Friday 
• Post it to us with a stamped addressed envelope if you want us to post it back to you.

In the interest of Patient Safety and to ensure accuracy we regret that we are unable to accept telephone / email requests for repeat prescriptions please order using one of the above methods.

All prescriptions will be sent to Davidsons Pharmacy, Alyth for dispensing unless you have previously asked to collect the prescription form from the health centre.  

Please allow 48hrs (2 working days) and 72 hrs  (3 working days) if requested on a Friday or over the weekend  before collection. If you live in the Newtyle area, you can request that Davidsons send your medication to the Newtyle Post Office for collection.  (Please note, however, that prescriptions for controlled drugs must be collected from the pharmacy.)

If you live in Blairgowrie, you can ask that Davidsons send your medication to their Blairgowrie branch for collection please allow 72hrs before collection.

If you prefer to use any other pharmacy please collect your prescription in person from the Health Centre.

If you have questions about your medicine, your local pharmacists can answer these. They can also answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.

The NHS website has information on how your medicine works, how and when to take it, possible side effects and answers to your common questions.

If you have a repeat prescription, we may ask you to come in for a regular review. We will be in touch when you need to come in for a review.

Take it to the nearest pharmacy for disposal. 

As qualified healthcare professionals, pharmacists can offer advice on minor illnesses such as:

• coughs
• colds
• sore throats
• tummy trouble
• aches and pains

They can also advise on medicine that you can buy without a prescription.

Many pharmacies are open until late and at weekends. You do not need an appointment.

Most pharmacies have a private consultation room where you can discuss issues with pharmacy staff without being overheard.
